How Does Wegovy Work?
Wegovy is composed of semaglutide, which acts like the natural GLP-1 hormone. This hormone in the brain is known to regulate appetite. Wegovy reduces appetite and slows down the digestive process in the stomach. This allows the patient to feel fuller for longer periods. Regulating food consumption and increasing the duration of being full are two major components of effective weight loss.
Wegovy is combined with guided improvements in diet and exercise to help patients lose the weight and keep it off effectively.
Am I a Good Candidate for Wegovy?
Patients who are 12 years or older and are suffering from obesity can effectively lose weight using Wegovy. Adults with a BMI of at least 30 are good candidates. Patients with a BMI of at least 27 who are suffering from weight-related medical problems are also good candidates for Wegovy injections. Candidates should be fully committed to a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity while administering Wegovy.
Patients should not take Wegovy along with other semaglutide-containing products or GLP-1 medicines. Patients who are under 12 years old or have a history of pancreatitis may not be candidates for Wegovy injectable weight loss.
Our Patients Get Results

Your Consultation
At your consultation, we will listen to your weight-loss goals and concerns. We will perform a physical evaluation and look over your medical history. Let us know if you are currently using weight-loss products or following a weight-loss plan.
We will recommend Wegovy if you are a safe candidate for this injectable weight-loss option. We will discuss the appropriate dosage and frequency of injections, along with our recommended changes to your diet and exercise. Make sure to ask any questions you may have during the consultation.
The Wegovy Weight-Loss Process
Wegovy will be injected once per week. The dose of Wegovy injected will start relatively low and will increase gradually. This will help to minimize the occurrence of side effects.
You can continue normal activities after the Wegovy injection is administered. No recovery time will be required. Make sure to follow our post-treatment care instructions. Side effects like nausea, stomach pain, or heartburn may occur.
You must make sure to follow the recommended diet plan and exercise routine. You will also come in for regular visits to assess the results of Wegovy. The dosage may be changed or may even stop depending at the discretion of the doctor.
Patients may experience weight loss starting four weeks into the process. Typically, patients lose around 18% of their body weight as a result of Wegovy treatments.
How Much Does Wegovy Cost?
The price of Wegovy treatment may depend on factors like the dosage and the duration of usage. The cost of Wegovy injections may be covered by your insurance provider.
